Core Features & Use Cases

Guided front-end and back-end conventions: Config structures in config/, routing, controllers, models, and views follow consistent patterns.
MVC discipline and testing: Encourages skinny controllers, appropriate before_actions, and AR-centric business logic.
Use Case: When reviewing a Rails app, apply these rules to align initializers, environments, routing, and Active Record usage with the guide.
